btrfs: remove spurious WARN_ON(ref->count < 0) in find_parent_nodes
Until v4.14, this warning was very infrequent:
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 18172 at fs/btrfs/backref.c:1391 find_parent_nodes+0xc41/0x14e0

Starting with v4.14 (specifically 86d5f9944252 ("btrfs: convert prelimary
reference tracking to use rbtrees")) the WARN_ON occurs three orders of
magnitude more frequently--almost once per second while running workloads
like bees.
Replace the WARN_ON() with a comment rationale for its removal.
The rationale is paraphrased from an explanation by Edmund Nadolski
<enadolski@suse.de> on the linux-btrfs mailing list.
